[A I M DISTRIBUTORS, INC. LOGO] SHAREHOLDER SERVICE AGREEMENT
FOR SALE OF SHARES
OF THE AIM MUTUAL FUNDS
This Shareholder Service Agreement (the "Agreement") has been adopted pursuant
to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, by each of the
AIM-managed mutual funds (or designated classes of such funds) listed in
Schedule A, which may be amended from time to time by AIM Distributors, Inc.
("Distributors") to this Agreement (the "Funds"), under a Distribution Plan (the
"Plan") adopted pursuant to said Rule. This Agreement, being made between
Distributors, solely as agent for such Funds and the undersigned authorized
dealer, defines the services to be provided by the authorized dealer for which
it is to receive payments pursuant to the Plan adopted by each of the Funds. The
Plan and the Agreement have been approved by a majority of the directors of each
of the Funds, including a majority of the directors who are not interested
persons of such Funds, and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in
the operation of the Plan or related agreements (the "Dis-interested
Directors"), by votes cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on the Plan. Such approval included a determination that in the exercise
of their reasonable business judgement and in light of their fiduciary duties,
there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit such Fund and its
shareholders.
1. To the extent that you provide distribution-related and continuing
personal shareholder services to customers who may, from time to time,
directly or beneficially own shares of the Funds, including but not
limited to, distributing sales literature, answering routine customer
inquiries regarding the Funds, assisting customers in changing dividend
options, account designations and addresses, and in enrolling into any
of several special investment plans offered in connection with the
purchase of the Funds' shares, assisting in the establishment and
maintenance of customer accounts and records and in the processing of
purchase and redemption transactions, investing dividends and capital
gains distributions automatically in shares and providing such other
services as the Funds or the customer may reasonably request, we,
solely as agent for the Funds, shall pay you a fee periodically or
arrange for such fee to be paid to you.
2. The fee paid with respect to each Fund will be calculated at the end of
each payment period (as indicated in Schedule A) for each business day
of the Fund during such payment period at the annual rate set forth in
Schedule A as applied to the average net asset value of the shares of
such Fund purchased or acquired through exchange on or after the Plan
Calculation Date shown for such Fund on Schedule A. Fees calculated in
this manner shall be paid to you only if your firm is the dealer of
record at the close of business on the last business day of the
applicable payment period, for the account in which such shares are
held (the "Subject Shares"). In cases where Distributors has advanced
payment to you of the first year's fee for shares sold at net asset
value and subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, no additional
payments will be made to you during the first year the Subject Shares
are held.
3. The total of the fees calculated for all of the Funds listed on
Schedule A for any period with respect to which calculations are made
shall be paid to you within 45 days after the close of such period.

Shareholder Service Agreement 2
4. We reserve the right to withhold payment with respect to the Subject
Shares purchased by you and redeemed or repurchased by the Fund or by
us as Agent within seven (7) business days after the date of our
confirmation of such purchase. We reserve the right at any time to
impose minimum fee payment requirements before any periodic payments
will be made to you hereunder.
5. This Agreement and Schedule A does not require any broker-dealer to
provide transfer agency and recordkeeping related services as nominee
for its customers.
6. You shall furnish us and the Funds with such information as shall
reasonably be requested either by the directors of the Funds or by us
with respect to the fees paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.
7. We shall furnish the directors of the Funds, for their review on a
quarterly basis, a written report of the amounts expended under the
Plan by us and the purposes for which such expenditures were made.
8. Neither you nor any of your employees or agents are authorized to make
any representation concerning shares of the Funds except those
contained in the then current Prospectus or Statement of Additional
Information for the Funds, and you shall have no authority to act as
agent for the Funds or for Distributors.
9. We may enter into other similar Shareholder Service Agreements with any
other person without your consent.
10. This Agreement may be amended at any time without your consent by
Distributors mailing a copy of an amendment to you at address set forth
below. Such amendment shall become effective on the date specified in
such amendment unless you elect to terminate this Agreement within
thirty (30) days of your receipt of such amendment.
11. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to any Fund at any time
without payment of any penalty by the vote of a majority of the
directors of such Fund who are Dis-interested Directors or by a vote of
a majority of the Fund's outstanding shares, on sixty (60) days'
written notice. It will be terminated by any act which terminates
either the Selected Dealer Agreement between your firm and us or the
Fund's Distribution Plan, and in any event, it shall terminate
automatically in the event of its assignment as that term is defined in
the 1940 Act.
12. The provisions of the Distribution Agreement between any Fund and us,
insofar as they relate to the Plan, are incorporated herein by
reference. This Agreement shall become effective upon execution and
delivery hereof and shall continue in full force and effect as long as
the continuance of the Plan and this related Agreement are approved at
least annually by a vote of the directors, including a majority of the
Dis-interested Directors, cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting thereon. All communications to us should be sent to
the address of Distributors as shown at the bottom of this Agreement.
Any notice to you shall be duly given if mailed or telegraphed to you
at the address specified by you below.

13. You represent that you provide to your customers who own shares of the
Funds personal services as defined from time to time in applicable
regulations of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,
and that you will continue to accept payments under this Agreement
only so long as you provide such services.
14. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Texas.
